    Everything is a thing eventually somewhere. Heh.

    There’s even Jews for Jesus. They believe he maybe was the messiah (“moshiach”) and that our people dropped the ball on that. Weird stuff. Culturally I find it odd yet interesting. Belief-wise I know it’s all mythology from a primitive time. But whatevs.

      The “Jews for Jesus” thing aren’t really the same religion as the modern-day Jews. You’re probably thinking of messianic Judaism which is a denomination/practice of Christianity. It did exist in the early Church and kind of was revived by Christian missionaries to Jewish communities. Essentially the Bible permits and in some ways encourages the observation of Jewish laws for converts.

      Fun fact, a lot of traditional Christian movements have preserved Pre-Jesus Jewish practises such as appointed psalms, raising the Gospel for a reading in church (pre-jesus jews did this with the torah), Church architecture itself is reminiscent of the Temple.
